Guild Night

Our quilting guild met last night and I took some pictures. This first bunch is Show-N-Tell from the ladies at Pride of the Prairie Quilt Guild. We meet in Naperville, IL.

Just Ducky pattern is in Dec 2009 in American Patchwork and Quilting.

This was a panel and she cut out the teddys and made a cute setting for them.

This is only half of it. I love the setting.

A little blurry. The sashing is pieced. SO cute.

Our guest lecturer was Sue Pawlowski and she brought a trunk show. She likes to work with small pieces! Nothing goes to waste. She's very thrifty and save EVERY SCRAP. She saves 1 x 1 inch pieces and makes little 4-patches or 9-patches and then she makes a miniature with the left overs. Here are some examples.

Her "Thread Ball". 20 years in the making.

Half-Inch Squares!

More half-inch squares.

Hexagon Quilt

Close Up Hexagon Quilt. I wouldn't want to piece that!

Pieces cut with Accu Cutter

I really like this one.

More Hexagons

Jack's Chain. So bright and cheerful! She has a pattern for this one.

Larger Jack's Chain

A mini.

This one was so cute. A large Churn Dash.

Spools of Thread

Made with left over triangles cut from making binding.
